		<title>Beckey&#8217;s awesome factoid #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my 4th cup of coffee this morning, my skin was buzzing, and it then occurred to me, I should give you, my dear reader, awesome factoids about me.
Because factoids are fun.
I donno.
Whatever.
I&#8217;m bored.
So, here you go:
I grew up in a brothel.

LOLz
Look at me, I&#8217;m so silly.
Actually, I grew up in a magical land called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Napping.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all quiet in the house.
Berlyn is napping.
Hudson is napping.
Zoey is napping. Or contemplating a fart. Or eating the crotch of the underwear I wore yesterday. Well, whatever she&#8217;s doing, she quiet.
I think I&#8217;ll take a nap too.
But I have to sleep on the couch downstairs, because that&#8217;s where Hudson is sleeping. Except the couch [...]]]></description>

		<title>A nice, relaxing stroll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, there really ARE mountain lions in the hills behind our home.
And it turns out that my crazy neighbor is actually telling the truth.
Trusted people that I know have seen this lion with their own two eyes. And there was even a fleet of helicopters here last week trying to capture the animal.
Well, they failed.
Which [...]]]></description>

		<title>mountain lions in this neighborhood? Not only is that absurd, but highly improbable.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we moved here we learned some interesting stuff via our crazy neighbor. Namely, the wild animal sightings.
She was all, &#8220;Be careful with your dog and children playing in your front yard because there are coyotes, and mountain lions.&#8221; And then she paused for dramatic effect, gave me the creepy eye, and I&#8217;m almost positive she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Miss Judgy Know-it all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I know everything about being a mommy.
And it took me going to 4 baby showers since Hudson was born to realize that I don&#8217;t.
Because ordinary, at baby showers, I&#8217;d be all, &#8220;Listen to me. I&#8217;m really smart, and I know all about this crap. And if you do it differently than me, not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sugary Lent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Lent.
Lent is a magical time a year when we reflect on how awesome Jesus is. It&#8217;s also a time, if you are Catholic, or a sadist, to give up something. I was raised Catholic, and every year we&#8217;d give up meat. And because my mom wasn&#8217;t very creative in the kitchen, we had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is what happens when you don&#8217;t sleep at night, and then drink too much caffeine to offset the sleepiness.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just want you to know that I&#8217;m trying to write a blog post right now, but for some reason I can&#8217;t concentrate.
It&#8217;s like my brain is on the phone with a Swedish inventor named Hjalmar, and is holding up a finger like, hang on a minute&#8230;
But I can&#8217;t wait a minute, STUPID BRAIN! I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last night I had this dream&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have this adorable trait&#8211;
I&#8217;m the girl who tells everyone about my dreams.
Well, I think it&#8217;s adorable, because I happen to think most things I do are adorable.
Like the mouth guard and moisturizing gloves I wear to bed at night?
Adorable.
When I talk over you when you&#8217;re trying to tell me a fascinating story about your [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sugar Shakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Valentine&#8217;s Day.
It&#8217;s probably my favorite holiday.
Not because I&#8217;m all secretly sentimental.
Not because I like shitty jewelry.
Not because I have no where else to wear this stupid heart sweater.

It&#8217;s because of the candy.
Sure, most holidays are associated with eating. I mean, what fun is celebrating something if you can&#8217;t chug a giant vat of chocolate? Can [...]]]></description>
